Thank you so much, I would have never figured this out without your help and spelled out so well on this page! I did get my pictures transferred to my computer from my Blackberry Curve, I wish I could have figured out if there was a way to transfer them all at once but it only took about 10 seconds a picture.

How can I send any files via Blackberry bluetooth H690 to another blackblerry...the owner also has H690 bluetooth. Is that possible. Also the video is too large is there a way to format the video to send.. Please advise. Thanks

I'm using the Blackberry Tour and I've really wanted to get my pictures and videos archived off. This was an awesome tip. Since it took me a little tinkering to figure it out, make sure in KDE that you right-click the tray icon, select Settings--Bluetooth Adapters and put your computer into discoverable mode, if you want to connect that way. I couldn't get the computer to connect to my Blackberry the other direction; I kept getting an error about not being enabled for input. Anyway, works perfectly this way, so THANKS!

Hi,
My sibs and i have been struggling to figure out how to use the bluetooth function on our BB's to send and recieve files. In under a minute we've sorted it out and free from frustrating circumstances.

I tried to send a song via bluetooth from a Samsung to a BlackBerry but the file got cancelled . Then i transferred the same file from my Samsung phone to a Nokia Phone , and then the file was transferred . I want to Know Why does Samsung phones accept Nokia but does not accept Blackberry or why doesn't Blackberry Accept files from Samsung phones

My device is paired with my macbook... it sends files through bluetooth to my macbook but strangely enough it will not send data from my macbook to my blackberry curve. It's really frustrating and I dont understand it.
I cant wait to have an iphone instead of this stupid blackberry. REALLY disliking it!

I can conecct for a second to another phone but it just says a/v remote control terminated. Why does it do that? I'm enabled and all and discover able. But my a/v remote control terminates the connection? Why am I missing something I got the new blackberry

Hey u guys, jus bought a BB Bold 9700 and cant seem to transfer media from my other phone or my laptop to it, my fren said its a setting that most BB's have that requires simple changing in the settings.... anyone has any idea of wat seeting needs to be changed or how to solve my prob????

i was having the same problem ie being able to send files via bluetooth but not able to recieve them , i was ensuring i was going into the folder i wanted to recieve the file into and pressing recieve by bluetooth before my paired phone sent it and it just kept sticking on waiting for file transfer, i solved it really easy by just rebooting the phone. To reboot just remove the battery on the blackberry while the phone is still turned on , wait 10 seconds and then put the battery back in and turn on, retry and see if this works
